There is the faint appearnce of some hairlines, but otherwise the dial is clean and fine. The case back has an engine turned design, and center disc. The inner case back is marked A.W.C. CO., 14 K with serial number that matches that on the dust cover. The movement is marked ILLINOIS WATCH CO., SPRINGFIELD, 17 JEWELS, with serial number 2701182 which dates it from 1915. * The movement size is approximately 37 mm in diameter. * This attractive Illinois gold watch is all the more desirable due to its Adler dial. It comes from one of the Crescent City's most respected jewelers, which is still in business after over 100 years.
